Bad, comedian, bad. water water water water

Chewable pepto tabs, at least two. And lots of water. And maybe some poo-pourri. You have to run out of ammo at some point, right?

It's a well-known herb that can be used to lower blood sugar and, ironically enough despite the name, blood pressure when used as a tea. FUN KILLER.

I CAN SEE INTO THE 5TH DIMENSION! O.O BLARRGH! Just kidding, I fell asleep.

Killing fun.

Plasma. Or if you live in an area that has one, medical guinea pig. You can potentially make hundreds to thousands of dollars for some studies depending on the time and tests needed. Some studies only last a weekend too.

They have to be extra sweet. Caffeine by itself at those levels is absolutely nasty. If you've ever had those caffeine pills in college, they are bitter as hell. No one would drink that without losing a dare.

As hard as it might be, this might be one of those times where you confide in a manager regarding your current health issues. It can be hard because it might feel like you are only saying something for pity but you are not. Form it in a way that lets them know you are telling them because you feel they should know in case something happens. A good manager won't go blabbing to anyone else about it so the only people who would know would be whoever you tell and they should be more willing to work with you on schedules and stuff without anyone else really being the wiser because it's gone from 'burn out' to 'medical necessity' - totally different rules on that. You aren't running screaming from the building, you still want to work but you need time for yourself too. I've been in this position myself. The only people to know anything was going on were the other managers just in case someone needed to step into my position for any extended period of time. My schedule was moved around a little to accommodate various doctor crap and no one outside of the few that needed to know were aware of anything going on. In the end, I didn't lose all that much time, recovery occurred and all that really remains is that some floor tasks [ like lifting heavy items and going up and down ladders ] were switched out to other things that still need to get done. Similar could be done for you with your hours adjusted and your minimums changed to show quality not quantity - lessened load, lessened stress, slower burn to actual burnout that might even flicker out because you'd still be showing yourself that you can handle this while dealing with the other.

Wtf. How many did he frickin' drink? I think I had a reaction like that to OK Soda way back in the day but I drank something like a 6 or 12 pack in a row. Counting doesn't exist after awhile. <.< >.> I've had them. They are decent enough. I like the pina colada flavored one the most. Cotton Candy and Blue Razz are ok too. When I drink them at work, they help a little but if I drink them at home, I tend to take a nap after.

It's not really bad per se. It's more like wanting a physical validation to a particular situation - with a medical issue, surgery is a definite physical validation. It's a blaring sign saying 'I told you shit happened' . I'm still hoping it isn't serious for you though. Brain surgeries freak me out. >.< And I'm not even the one looking at one! Is there some way while you are dealing with things that you'd be able to get reduced to part-time or different hours anyway as a preemptive health thing? Reduced stress helps things heal faster and even some non-invasive procedure could always use some extra relaxing time.

No. If I wanted fart incense, I'd just give my cat something with fish in it and she'd fume the entire place. >.<

3 parts French Vanilla 1 part Mountain Blueberry 3 spoons creamer 3 spoons sugar 1 dash amaretto It's a very mellow coffee that has a hint of blueberry muffin to it.

I plan on taking a nap at some point that day. Although I do have a Full Moon blend incense that I've never tried before. That could be fun.

Aw, did the fetus gain another year? Merry Hatchmas!

I saw that crap at the grocery store so you might think about checking there. It was on a display endcap right by the registers as a seasonal impulse item with other Starbucks bottles and cans.

Needs more pom-pom fringe.

Piss off, Elsa. I'm FROM the Frozen Tundra.

I hope it's nothing 'serious-serious' and just a touch of the usual crap. Usual crap can suck too but at least it's something you know. A word to all - Doc Hammer couldn't travel this year but he was on Skype. Come hell or high water, he's planning to be at Dragon Con for 2020. So if you are looking for a full Venture Panel experience, next year is looking good. Hopefully with an episode to sneak peak for everyone.

You have to find the Blue Key. This is why you fail. -.-;

So Dragon Con happened. There's a delightful fan booth there for all things Venture [ go People's Republic of Venture! ] and a delightful amount of Venture fans hiding out amongst the Vendors and Artists. I thought to share a few of the things from this year's Con for those that couldn't make it, like looking at things other than cosplayers [ Lincoln in a spedo...enough said ] and just enjoy the vicariousness of things. At the People's Republic of Venture booth, every day the booth is open has a new button to collect. From bottom to top : Scrotal Safety Commission [ Friday ] ; Black Hearts Assassins [ Saturday ] ; Guild of Calamitous Intent [ Sunday ] ; Order of the Triad [ Monday ] . Henchman 21 was the late night button for a Cards Against Humanity game. The golden Order of the Triad button was this year's photo scavenger hunt prize. The badge on the bottom was an additional handout on Friday reading 'Official Crotch Buddy' . They went really fast and were this year's prized booth collectible [ last year's was a button featuring Dr. Girlfriend 'I'm Not Your Fucking Mommy' ] . There's usually a really cool item that only goes to people who help fund all the fun. This year's extra special item was a Rusty's Day Camp for Boy Adventurers shot glass. Because after attending that camp, you probably could use a shot of some kind. Like maybe this year's recipe card offering... Fun item received from a Venture fan in the Artist's Alley. My fridge needs all the magnets! One of my favorite artists, Spooky Chan, does a lot of VB drawings. Her, Chris Hamer [ Urban Pop ] and Poopbird are a few of my favorites and I try to hunt them down while at the Con. I picked up a Pickle Rick postcard from Hamer and couldn't find Poopbird in the crush this year but did get another Spooky Chan to add to my walls. Which went great with what I found crammed in a corner of a little booth hidden along the walls of one of the 3 floors of Vendors. Yep, Dr. Girlfriend mint-in-box. So, anyone else manage the trip to Hotlanta to fight with nerds and borderline nudists? Discuss!...

Should the OP request that this thread take a nap, it will be done. Also, should the OP want the thread to take a nap but not necessarily the topic itself, I would suggest maybe a week's wait before a new version of the thread be made just so everyone can take a general breath.

Nah. 'Old fashioned' Wii-Zoomba. There's one character that I just call Jumping Bean because every exercise section with him consists of a lot of rapid jumping all over the dang place and another character I call the Beehive Bitch because she moves around way too much to really keep up with and she has a beehive. I think it's my hate of those two characters whenever they pop in the sequencing that causes boob growth. The venom has to go somewhere.

Zoomba Cardio. I swear I went up at least a cup. Stupid zoomba.
